LIMERICK PA – Historical societies have become valuable venues to learn about an area’s history, and the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society – a non-profit organization that provides local historical information to the public – is a similarly trusted resource, its members say.

An Oct. 28, 1958, open house gathered future society members together at what was then the Royersford PA train station. Several area residents brought collections of items and pieces from around the area to display. Its first officers were subsequently elected Nov. 13 of the same year; Lee Warner was installed as the president. Meetings were held monthly in a community room at Phoenix Savings and Loan.

It wasn’t until May 1988 that a grand opening of the society’s museum was held at the train station. It subsequently moved, once in 1995 and again in May 2000, to its current location at 526 Main St., Royersford.

Katie aspires to be a writer and journalist; her mother, Beth, is a well-known photographer and marketing expert. Together they are producing historical notes for The Post, which are published on Wednesdays.

WORKING IN BLUSTERY CONDITIONS – Wind gusts of up to 50 mph Saturday (Feb. 19, 2011) blew down power wires and knocked out electricity in parts of Limerick PA Township and elsewhere. Utility company crews were busy (above) restoring power and reconnecting cables at the intersection of Ridge Pike and Airport Road (below).

A portion of the roadway was blocked for a time, and limited to one lane (above), as repairs continued. Limerick Fire Company responded to the scene and helped to direct traffic. Nearby, and across the area, the strong winds toppled trees and brush (below), and in some cases required professional clean-up.
